When You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick. Based on what we know about COVID-19 vaccines, people who have been fully vaccinated can start to do some things that they had stopped doing because of the pandemic. If you’ve been fully vaccinated, you can: Gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask. Gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one other household without masks, unless any of those people or anyone they live with is at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. In public you should still wear a mask, stay at least 6 feet apart from others, and avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.

Have an extra mask, tissues, and hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol on hand. When considering activities, think about how many people you’ll interact with, if you’ll be able to stay at least 6 feet away from others, if others will be wearing masks, and how long the activity lasts. Remember, outdoors is safer than indoors. Most importantly, protect yourself. Wear a mask Stay at least 6 feet from others Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated places
